I think this Bolsonaro lad aka “Tropical Trump” will need a thread of his own over the coming months.
Seems like a cross between Trump and Duerte.
Looser gun laws, more police killings, crack down on “fake news”, combining the Agriculture and Environmental protection department etc etc etc.
He’s going to raze the Amazon forest to the ground for starters by the sounds of it.
Trump thinks he’s a great bloke anyway. Some talk that himself and Trump will combine to take action on Venezuela as well.
I see the so called “anti-corruption” judge Sergio Moro, who is now Brazil’s justice minister, has been been outed as being deeply corrupt - he colluded with prosecutors to create the case against Lula which he himself then judged
What a surprise, said absolutely nobody
The whole thing was transparently a plot to put Lula in jail and keep the leftist PT party out of power
One of the ways fascism works is to corrupt the legal system and jail your opponents
The scumbag Bolsonaro of course has said nothing, his regime is specifically designed to benefit the corrupt, rich corporate elite
Amazing, or more precisely, utterly predictable how right wing so called “anti-corruption campigners” usually turn out to be the most corrupt of all - way, way more corrupt than those they claim corruption against
I wonder can posters here think of any right wing so called “anti-corruption campaigner” in Ireland like that
Brazil need to look to their northern leftist neighbors to learn how to do corruption properly. Nobody does corruption like the bus driver and his cronies.
I’ve been to Brazil multiple times and Venezuela once, and have several close friends from both countries that have actually lived there, are politically active, and are very knowledgeably on what is going on there. First of all you have to start with the fact that all of south America is as corrupt as fuck, regardless of what flavor of political party are in power. Left, right or centrist regimes, all corrupt as fuck. Same with central America and Mexico, corrupt and extremely violent societies.
Your problem is you only see evil in right wing regimes and see left wing regimes as a solution, when the evidence says the opposite. The experiment with socialism in Venezuela has destroyed what was a prosperous country which should have the highest standard of living in the continent, and turned what was the safest country to live in or visit into one of the least safe. I wouldn’t dream of going to Venezuela now as it is extremely unsafe, in fact most of the Venezuelans I know wouldn’t go back, even to visit. This doesn’t bother you in the slightest as “left wing good, right wing bad”.
The countries that are making most progress are Chile and Uruguay, Colombia is also going in the right direction.
You eulogised Bolsonaro because you see him as being “on your side”
The Wall Street Journal told you he was good, didn’t they, they said he was anti-corruption when him and his ilk are the most corrupt of all, I see a pattern emerging
Gobshites like you have no problem whatsoever with massive corruption and all sorts of hateful, fascistic shite, because they’re on “your side”
Well done on cheerleading for yet another hopelessly corrupt fascist, true to form
What an asset to Kamala Harris’s campaign you must be, I jest obviously
Please point out where I eulogised Bolsonaro, you bluffing liar.
I see you conveniently ignored your leftist heroes in Venezuela again, can’t accept that a leftist regime can be so corrupt and turn what was a wealthy and safe country into a shit hole. Which is of course every radical leftists dream, to turn all prosperous countries into shit holes. All based on envy from useless cunts who never worked an honest day in their lives.
The ruling Frente Amplio coalition are center left. Nothing inherently wrong with center left, centrist or center right, although all are just as prone to corruption as it is endemic in Latin America.
